Jaguar F-Type Shows Up Early

First image of Jaguar’s new sports car looking ready for production has leaked out online.

Following countless spy shots and camouflaged reveals, this is how we get to see the production ready Jaguar F-Type: one lousy leaked image that supposedly got sent to spy-photographer Chris Doane. Looking strikingly similar to the C-X16 Coupe Concept that debuted at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show (albeit sans the hardtop), even from this low-res image we can see the F-Type is unmistakably a Jaguar and has remained true to the styling of the concept.

We cannot confirm the authenticity of the shot however, and we'll have to wait for an official release which won't come later than next week's Paris Motor Show where it is expected to be unveiled to the public. The roadster model pictured will be released first, followed by a coupe variant. The F-Type will come with three gasoline engines: 340- and 380-horsepower variants of the all-new 3.0-liter supercharged V6, and a new derivative of the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 for the flagship R model.
